Background
On the 14th night of each lunar month, Hoi An’s old town holds a full-moon lantern evening—river lanterns, lights-out streets and a classic nightscape. The 1st, 7th and Mid-Autumn months are especially popular.
Impact on travellers
Not a public holiday. The old town packs out—restaurants and lantern shops throng. Great for night walks and photos; mind belongings, allow walking time, book hotels early.
Extra notes
Lantern ambience exists most lunar-14th nights; this marks a peak (7th-month). Confirm local arrangements; weather may alter plans.
